Venice-Barry Apartments — Local services in Los Angeles

Students and staff of UCLA avoid university housing at all costs! It's run by crooks, thieves, and terrible people. They give zero care about human life or safety. Elevators get stuck and have issues non stop, and are FIVE YEARS PAST THEIR INSPECTION DATE. If you're in a wheelchair prepare to just not have access to your home at times. The repairs are slow and sloppy. Air condition units out for weeks on end (not unit, UNITS, because they have unsafe and outdated power delivery to the building, which blew out many residents units at once, in the winter.... Not even under heavy load), with zero ETA for fixes..... Why? Because they use student labor as a front for everything! Any complaint you make, any request you have, goes to an underpaid student, that gets no support for UCLA itself. The owners should be arrested or at the very least banned from building ownership ever again. This is unforgivable and I have no idea how they sleep at night, gouging students and staff day after day and can't even do BASIC ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

Oh and the stairs are broken for months. No eta for that.

Rusted and broken railing laying on the ground for years.... No eta to fix that.

Pool that is never cleaned. After a year of waiting and finally asking we were told it "should be cleaned daily". Now it seems like it gets at least bi-annual cleaning.

Gym room with broken equipment. The room was redone too a couple years ago, but the broken machines were left in place.

Car garage that has many thefts every year from poor security, including thefts of locked bikes.

The list would go on but I've only so much time. These crooks need to be punished, and I feel so bad for all the students and staff that keep having to put...

I do not recommend this place full of racist people who frequent this place everyday it's not a place you want to raise kids in if they are black or biracial or if they don't think you are in the same tax bracket as they are they treat you as...

I wouldn't send my...
